im not into drugs but im in a situation that relates

[quackoman]

im in summer school, and i met some really nice, kind people. But the more i got to know them, the less Holsum they appered. Max and Sara do drugs. i dont know exactly whitch kinds. and im not their mother, and they are old enough to make their own decitions on this matter. But the problem is, they have sucked in this poor girl. She is going to be a freshman next year and since she started hanging out with these kids she has skipped school, been on speed, marojana, and god knows what else. the big bad seniors roll her cigaretes and the go behind the school and smoke. i know that i cant do much, but should i try to talk to her seperatly, because i know that she is just a kid, testing the waders. Max made it available, and she fell into the temptation. but it is really upseting to see this girl go from a strat A student, head of the choire, singing songe from greece, and working out every day, to a person who's carrying tobaco on school property. i'd have said something already but i dont want to look like an idiot in front of the other kids. i know that that sounds kind of immature, but i still can't help but feel partially responcable for this girl's well being. Any advice on the situation would be great, thanks.

and FYI
i just want to say that im no vergin to drugs. Ive taken Valium and i have an occational Rumpunch. (even though those are depressents i still know the erge that you can have to them.)

How old are you

"the big bad seniors" "carrying tobaco on school property."
You make it sound like she is about 7 and that smoking is like murder or something. Its her choice what she does with her body you shouldn't lecture her about it.

She's old enough to make her own decisions. How long has she been smoking? If it hasn't been too long then she can still quit. As for cannabis, it's no biggy. A joint (or however you smoke it in the states) won't kill her. I first smoked that stuff when I was twelve stopped and that didn't do me any harm.

She's not a fucking infant. She can make her own decisions and if she really didn't want to smoke/do drugs then she wouldn't have. It sounds like she's just curious and that it'll pass in time. In this case the tobacco is actually the more dangerous thing. If she doesn't stop smoking then she could end up like me. Twenty-a-day and coughing all night.

WHen I say it didn't do me any harm, it actually did. I got hooked on the tobacco in the joints. (but that wasn't the work of cannabis)

Anyway, just reccomend to her that she stop and then drop it alltogether. Just don't fucking bug her about it. She'll just feel miserable annd may begin to hate you. As I always say to people trying to get me to quit: "Harassing me about my smoking may be hazardous to your health."

"Carrying tobacco on school property" isn't such a terrible thing. Get over it.
